Owls inside and out ATC #1

Challenge: create one owl inspired ATC and then send it in an owl inspired envelope.

My first ATC came out so, so cute😊 I received the background of this ATC from a swapper. It is created using the shaving creme technique.

The owl is cut at 2". The brown base of the owl is in fact a greeting card with double sides, but I cut the left side out. So I ended up with the base for the owl. To make a quirky owl I used patterned card stock for her body part and yellow for her belly. I used the pink card stock to add to the base card for a sturdier base ATC card. I used the ink embossing technique on the edges of this ATC for more depth. ATC completed!

This is the second quirky owl for the owl inspired envelope. Isn't he cute? I cut this second owl at 3,5". Still have to add this cutie to an envelope, but now it is time for my three week vacation. TO BE CONTINUED😙

Sending Samuel love

We hope that you had a wonderful birthday. We love ya💓

Card cut at 4,5", but it is quite small. From top to bottom is 4,5". So keep in mind when you use the
Wild card 2 cartridge that you adjust the measurements. I forgot that I had to choose another size on the cricut expression. Well, Samuel is a small boy, so he'll rather be happy and will not notice;))

Making my envelope from scratch. I just came about an inch short of the designer card stock. A piece of light blue card stock was my solution. Hand free envelope made and all scratch of this designer card stock is used😊
